Hi everyone, new to the forum and ride on mowers. I was given a Murray mower a while back with a B&S 12.5 HP engine. It had been standing for a long time, I put a new battery on and got it running and it was ok apart from fuel dripping from the exhaust.
I took the carb off and gave it a good clean, put it back on and now the mower runs at high revs, but cuts out if I pull the throttle back, and there is fuel in the air filter housing and the exhaust.
What could be the cause of this, and how do I sort it out? I'm not afraid of spanners and rebuilt a few cars, but only one mower so far.
TIA
Andrew.
